I mean it's all subjective, to me it's a bad take on stuff I heard almost two decades ago. Seems like he's just discovered John Butler (who was also a busker) and Xavier Rudd among others.

*doublepromote a cameo from an old friend of mine, ... P.K. Dwyer! He's the busker with the grey beard playing guitar outside the original Starbucks @2:43!

He chatted up a busker friend of mine as they walked down the street in NYC years back. My friend couldn't say enough about how personable and genuine the experience was.

No idea what the the tips are like for buskers in Poland, but the largest coin is 5zł, which is roughly a dollar give or take.

His name is Josh Clark and he was inspired by the Blue Man Group. He's a busker. Some buskers are homeless, some not, and some start out homeless and then get record deals and worldwide acclaim -- like Moondog.

Moondog looked like a wizard viking and once conducted the Brooklyn Philharmonic. He invented the instrument known as the trimba.

I don't give to the Big Issue Seller
'Cause he's probably on heroin
I walk past him with a grin
And if I can, I kick his dog

No I don't give to the busker
He's talentless and lazy
He's ruining the country
I think he should get a job

Instead I give my money to:
Walmart, for its tax evasion
Primark, for its child labour
Texaco for the next invasion
Don't give a fuck about you

Give my money to the millionaires
Give my money to the millionaires
Give all my money to the millionaires
And I don't give a fuck about you

No, I don't give to the beggar
That's what I pay my taxes for
The government should shove him through the door
Of a prison cell, or a hospital

I don't give to the homeless pisshead
He'll blow it all on booze instead
Such a waster doesn't deserve a bed
What do you mean welfare is dead?

Because I give my money to:
Walmart, for its tax evasion
Primark, for its child labour
Texaco for the next invasion
Don't give a fuck about you

Give my money to the millionaires
Give my money to the millionaires
Give all my money to the millionaires
And I don't give a fuck about you

Give my money to:
Starbucks, in case they get hard up
BP, 'cause making living ain't easy
Barclays, do they look after me?
And I don't give a fuck about you

Give my money to the millionaires
Give my money to the millionaires
Give all my money to the millionaires
And I don't give a fuck about you

...whoa...outstanding find...thank you....

,,,from his website:

"Mariusz Goli the guitarist, busker born in Poznan, Poland. This street artist can be seen performing in Katowice as well in other Polish cities.

He has been playing guitar since fifteen years old, however his future was bound to this instrument seven years ago. Busking is his way of life.


Street concerts give Mariusz the biggest satisfaction, he loves direct contact with his public. His music can be heard as well in clubs, pubs and restaurants.
Mariusz's music is very spontaneous, he loves to impovise. In his creations he tries to cover elements of flamenco as well as all sorts of folk music. He's still looking for his own style, trying to discover new techniques."

A busker friend of mine had a chance encounter with Tom Hanks in NY. He truly is as genuine and nice as one might expect.
